FAQs

Are these panels suitable for a wet room floor?

While designed for walls, it's best to consult the manufacturer's specific guidelines for floor application. Generally, they are intended for vertical wall surfaces.

What adhesive should I use?

Multipanel recommends using their specific panel adhesive for optimal performance and to maintain the guarantee. Check the product packaging or Multipanel's website for recommended adhesives.

Can I install these panels myself?

Yes, these panels are designed for easier DIY installation compared to tiling. However, basic DIY skills and the right tools are necessary for a professional finish.

How do I measure and cut the panels accurately?

Measure your wall dimensions carefully. Use a reliable measuring tape and a level. For cuts, mark your lines clearly and use a fine-toothed saw. Always measure twice, cut once.

What is the difference between the 'Unlipped' and standard panels?

The standard panels feature the Hydrolock® tongue and groove system for joining. The 'Unlipped' option typically refers to panels that may require a different joining method or profile, depending on the specific product variation.

How long will these panels last?

With proper installation and care, these panels are designed for long-term use and come with a 30-year guarantee, indicating excellent durability.

Can I paint over these panels?

The panels have a specific decorative finish and are not designed to be painted over. Painting may affect their waterproof properties and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Panel joint is not completely watertight

Ensure the Hydrolock® edges are clean and dry before joining. Apply a recommended waterproof sealant along the joint if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Surface appears dull after cleaning

You may have used an abrasive cleaner. Switch to a soft cloth with mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

Difficulty cutting panels cleanly

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw (circular saw or jigsaw recommended) with a dust extraction system. Measure carefully and support the panel during cutting to prevent chipping.

Compatibility:

These panels can be installed directly over most existing surfaces, including tiles, plasterboard, and concrete. Ensure the existing surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before application.
